in the bomb shelter craze of 1959, 200 permits were authorized in San Diego, and 60 years later, one bomb shelter has become a slight problem... it happens to be under the driveway, and it's settled a bit


Holles’s house was inhertited from her aunt, and came equipped with a 1950s-era bomb shelter dug underneath the driveway.

But Holles is worried about a more immediate issue: the cracking in her driveway.


There are several apparently severe cracks in the concrete. Holles says it seems like there are more cracks now than there were a year ago when she inherited the lot from her aunt. She thinks her driveway is about to give out, and the only real solution is to fill it with concrete
